Downtown
Presented by Tourisme-Montréal.
Live from the core of Montréal. The corner of Peel and Sainte-Catherine is the busiest intersection in the city. Encounter post-modern towers, historical office buildings, and great museums, galleries, shopping and restaurants. Below the busy streets is the famous underground city, an attraction unique in all of North America. This network of passageways connects over 1,700 boutiques and businesses.
Thanks to the Drummond Building (1117 Sainte-Catherine Street West) and StarNetcontact inc for their contribution to MontréalCam.
Oddly enough, the construction of the city's first skyscraper sparked the beginning of the "city beneath the city". Place Ville Marie, built in the 1960s, was connected by an underground passageway to the Gare Centrale (train station).
